Oh god, I just remembered that Mendy is banned for the Madrid return leg...

I would be tempted to play Cancelo at left back at the moment.

Guarantee that challenge by Cancelo would have been a free kick to them, if we had won the throw.

Me too mate but you have to put that behind you and look to whats coming ..

It’s ok I’ve not got the razor blades out haha. Was just making a point ;)

Kev warming up

Pretty sad we're so reliant on one player

David Silva has slowed down so much this season. Hes still giving everything but theres just nowhere near as much to give as there used to be.

His weight of pass is missing too. He tried a coupLe of one twos and through balls that normally would put the receiving player clean through but they’ve been either under or over hit.

On a positive note, I love Garcia already

Playing quite nicely but Mahrez is once again far too greedy - this is the sort of game where he should be really effective but I think he plays more for him than anything else. Zinny not enjoying the press at all. I can't see Southampton keeping this press up later in the match. Their keeper having a good game. Foden and Kev on later to exploit space.

David's hair looks magnificent. Money well spent you have to say

I miss 17/18 where that through ball would be at the Splitter's feet and he'd run on and thrash it in, instead we have Raz stopping and killing the attack because he can't take it on his weaker foot.
